If you say you are looking for a role where you manage people you are not a fit for my team because we need ICs.
If you say you’re looking for meaning in your life, I can ask you what that is to you and then share what we are (HFT) and you may decide that we can provide meaning or not.
If you’re looking to work on an exciting new stack or technology, I will be able to tell you about where we sit there (not exciting).
If you want to look for a remote role, we’re not for you.
So on and so forth. There are a million reasons why someone might be looking for a job. When I’m hiring for my team I want to make sure you’ll be happy here and be useful. It’s demoralizing to the team to have people join and then leave shortly after.
